The warning is to stay alert – especially if you go into the lake when no lifeguards are on duty.
- -The dangers of Lake Michigan have been self-evident in recent days, with three drownings in just the past week.As CBS 2's Jermont Terry reported Thursday night, many will hit the beaches this coming weekend. But the drowning of 20-year-old Amy Kelts should serve as a reminder of just how dangerous the currents of Lake Michigan can be.We have learned Kelts went into the water with a friend – and that friend barely survived herself.
Divers searched Lake Michigan for over an hour Wednesday night, before darkness forced them to suspend the search. On Thursday morning, the recovery mission resumed – and divers found Kelts' body near a pier in 10 feet of water. "And I'm told that my son was in the water - he was with his grandfather - and a wave took him," Onyx's mother, Natacha Cruz, said last week."They said that he was about knees-deep. It doesn't make sense."
